[Update: Expiring Tomorrow + Strategy] PayPal Just Hiked Its Offer to 20% Cash Back on any purchase!
UPDATE (12/01): Deal Ending Early + New Restrictions!
DEADLINE ALERT: This deal was too good to last! The terms have changed, and the offer is now set to expire tomorrow, December 2nd, at 11:59 PM PST (or sooner if the point cap is reached).
Crucial Change: The 20% Cash Back is now limited to a SINGLE transaction up to $1,250. You cannot make multiple smaller purchases anymore.
🔥 How to Maximize: If you haven’t used this till now, the best play is to use it for any discount shopping or purchase third-party gift cards. Reports confirm points are showing as “pending” immediately.
The Double Dip:
Stack the PayPal 20% off with any current Sales at stores (that have the pay in 4 option available at PayPal checkout) or with Best Buy’s current gift card sales:
- 1. Instacart: $100 Gift Card on sale for $85.
- The Math: $85 – 20% PayPal Cashback (~$17) = ~$68 total cost (32% off!)
- Direct Link to Instacart Deal (Expires Tonight)
- 2. Other Sale Cards: Add other Discounted cards
- 3. Fill the Cart: Use other gift cards to reach the $1,250 max spend if needed.
Reminder: You must save the offer in your PayPal account first and select “Pay Later” / “Pay in 4” at checkout.
11/17: If you’re in the middle of your holiday shopping (or just love a ridiculously good deal), you need to stop what you’re doing and check your PayPal account.
Right now, PayPal has temporarily boosted its cash back offer on “Pay Later” purchases from 5% to a whopping 20% cash back.
This is one of the best offers we’ve seen this season. It’s a fantastic way to get a huge discount on virtually anything – both online and in stores where you can pay with PayPal.
So, What’s the Catch? (Spoiler: It’s Time)
This amazing 20% offer is extremely time-sensitive. According to the details, they are only giving a total of 1.5B points, and you only have through December 8th at 11:59 PM PST to make your purchases and lock in that 20% cash back.
After that, the offer reverts to 5% cash back for purchases made between December 9 and December 31. That’s still a nice bonus, but it’s not the 20% monster deal that’s on the table right now.
How to Get Your 20% Cash Back
Getting the deal is simple, but you have to follow the steps:
- Save the Offer: This is the most important step! You must go into your PayPal account and actively save the offer first. If you don’t save it, you won’t get the cash back.
- Shop and Pay: Buy now at your favorite stores, either online or in-person. When you check out, select PayPal and choose one of their “Pay Later” solutions.
- Get Paid: You’ll get 20% cash back on all your eligible purchases made before the deadline.
The Need-to-Knows
Here are the key details from the offer terms:
- Spend Limit: The 20% cash back is good on up to $1,250 in spending per transaction.
- Availability: The offer is valid for both online and in-store purchases.
- Pay Later Requirements: To use PayPal’s Pay Later solutions, you must be 18 or older. A soft credit check may be required, but the good news is this will not affect your credit score.
Final Verdict
This is a no-brainer. If you have holiday shopping, a big purchase, or even just regular errands to run, using this offer is like getting a 20% off coupon for everywhere.
The clock is ticking, so the only real advice is to go save this offer in your PayPal account right now before you forget. Happy shopping!
